Wednesday - Sorcery Class

Welcome - Coloring Page - Magic Wand & My Pet Unicorn

If I had a magic wand I would wish for...

This is my magical pet unicorn. It's name is...

Craft Project - Magic Hat

Before we could start magic class we had to make our sorcerer's hats! I bought a package of shiny party hats at Target (Spritz 8 count for $2) and I personalized each one and gave the girls foam star stickers and jewel stickers for decorations.

Next up the girls received their magic wands for their magic spells. I used the ones I bought at the dollar tree (Dollar Tree Magic Wands) with the blue stones - the pink stones are used later in the week for another project. I gave them each a cape (Dollar Tree purple table cloth cut into large triangles) and they were all set for their first magic spell!

Magic Spell - Mutato Rubio!!

Have you ever seen the HBO show called Kindergarten? It is a reality show that follows a Kindergarten class through the year. It is one of our favorite shows, if you have a preschooler or Kindergartner definitely check it out! In the first episode the teacher hands out a ball of white play-doh and tells the students to smoosh the ball up and if it changes color they will have a great school year. The kids' faces light up as they see a burst of color and are excited for the  year ahead. So sweet! I knew this would be perfect for our first magic spell: Mutato Rubio! In the Sofia episode Cedric's Apprentice, Sofia learns the spell Mutato Rubio and successfully turns a rock into a ruby. 

I covered balls of red and blue play-doh with white play-doh. The girls took turns doing their magic spells - I wanted to make a big deal of each one that turned the " white stone" into a jewel. And I also wanted to be able to snap pix along the way!

Time to smoosh!

The magic spell worked! All of the princesses cheered for their friends! Adorable.

I have to say this was my favorite part of the entire week. The girls were SO excited when they saw their stones change. It truly was magical. Yay!

Magic Spell - Presto Change-o!!

I gave the girls a choice - to do another magic spell or to do snack and story time. An overwhelming response: MAGIC SPELL!!! So off to the porch we went where I had the second "spell" set up. In retrospect I would have done this spell first because it almost seemed like a let down after the play-doh spell. Live and learn :)

Outside I had set up watercolor paints, bowls of water and "magic" paper with invisible princess messages written on them. I used water color paper and colored on it with white crayon - once the girls painted on them with the water color paint, the messages and pictures would appear. I got this idea from pinterest here: Crayon & Watercolor Messages. I have since seen it used with lemon juice - I might try that next time. The paints worked, but wasn't the best. Still cute though! Here are the girls saying "Presto Change-o" on their papers before painting. I can't find our finished products for this project but once I do I will upload them. Check out the link above to see how they come out!

Snack and Story Time

After the magic spell the girls played out on the porch and came inside for snack and story time. Today's story was Sofia Makes A Friend, a very cute story about a unicorn named Pearl who comes to stay at the palace and makes a mess of everything! But Sofia learns that a princess always tries to make her guests feel at home. 

Circle Time and Princess Lesson

The lesson for today was Magic Words. "Thank you, You're Welcome, Excuse Me and Please!" We talked about good manners and the importance of always using magic words. They are magic because have the power to influence grown ups! We practiced using them in different scenarios. 

Craft Project - Magic Potions

Our final project of the day was making magic potions. Last Christmas we made snow globes with this same technique, but this time I used ALOT more glitter! Each received a travel shampoo bottle (99 cent store purchase 3 in a pack) filled with equal parts water and corn syrup.

I gave the girls two small packs of glitter and a handful of teeny tiny pink beads from Dollar Tree (Glitter 4 Pack and Pink Beads).

I hot glued the caps closed just to be safe! They came out very cool. The girls loved shaking them up and watching the glitter and beads float around.

This was a great end to our magical day! The girls were so excited to bring home their magic spells to show their moms and dads. All of the projects went home and I included a note about tomorrow asking the girls to bring in their favorite stuffed animal or doll as their guest for the tea party.
